LaVar Ball claims that all his three sons – Lonzo Ball, LaMelo Ball, and LiAngelo Ball – will play for Los Angeles Lakers in the future.

Lonzo was a part of the Lakers’ squad until last year. He came into the Lakers’ side when they drafted him in 2017 with the second overall pick in the Draft. He played for the Lakers for two years before being the part of the exodus to bring in Anthony Davis last year.

It has been close to a year since the Lakers traded Lonzo, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, the No. 4 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft and two future first-round picks to the New Orleans Pelicans for Davis.

A year after Lonzo’s entry into the NBA, LiAngelo came into the NBA draft but went undrafted. He is currently playing for the Oklahoma City Blue of the NBA G League.

LaVar’s youngest son LaMelo Ball, meanwhile, has been getting ready for the 2020 NBA Draft. He has played for the Illawarra Hawks in the Australian league. Many mock drafts have predicted him to be the first overall pick in the 2020 Draft.

LaVar Ball feel all his sons would play for Los Angeles Lakers

When the Lakers parted with Lonzo and others to sign Davis, LaVar Ball wasn’t the happiest. He had said last year that it was the worst signing and the Lakers would never win a Championship

“I gave ’em a chance. You can rewind it and go back, and I said, ‘You get the three Ball brothers, you going to survive this. You let ’em go … oh, it’s going to be a cold day in hell. Trust me on that,’” he added.

“Hey man, just between you and me, we’ll be back later. Just between me and you, they’re coming back to the Lakers later, man. Woo, that’d be crazy, huh? That’s the inside scoop.

“Don’t let them know that yet. When we pop up, all three of them over there, they’re going to say ‘Aw man, I didn’t know they was coming back,’” he said.
